UCR Biweekly Work-Study Timesheet Due Dates

Student employees now submit electronic timesheets through UC's Time & Attendance
Reporting System (TARS). Once the student completes their online electronic timesheet,
they will print and submit it to their supervisor for final approval.

Supervisors are required to submit approved student employee timesheets via email
to workstudy@ucr.edu. Due to the very short timeframe financial aid staff has to process the approved
timecards after they are submitted, it is important that approved timecards are received by the due dates in order to ensure that student
employees are paid on time.

walkthrough of the process for electronic timesheet submission can be accessed here.

Financial Aid on Hold Information

If you see that some or all of your financial aid on Growl Current Activity is “Aid
on Hold”, you can click on the Growl “Holds” item on the menu bar for a description
of the hold and how to resolve the hold (e.g., loan documents to be completed). Note:
Aid on hold does not hold registration in courses. Once you have resolved the hold,
allow at least a few business days to see the updated aid status on Growl. Your aid
will then appear as “Estimated Aid” until it is ready to “credit” your account.

After the quarter begins you may view any financial aid refunds or direct deposits
that are issued to you for any credit balance on your student account after your charges
have been paid. Please note that one financial aid award on hold will not necessarily prevent disbursement
of other awards – for example, a loan on hold for completion of loan documents will not prevent the
disbursement of a grant.

It’s always a good idea to check Growl Current Activity for the latest information
on your quarterly charges and aid credits, to check your latest account balance and
to ensure that your aid is not on hold.

Next Steps for New Stafford Loan Borrowers

Next Steps for Parent PLUS Loan Borrowers

Your financial aid award may include a Federal Direct Parent PLUS Loan. The PLUS Loan
is a loan which is made to your parent. If your parent decides to take out this loan,
the parent borrower needs to submit a PLUS Request, and if your parent is a new (first-time) borrower, complete an electronic Master Promissory Note online. (more)

Next Steps for Perkins Loan Borrowers

All Perkins Loan borrowers must submit an electronic Master Promissory Note online
and complete loan entrance counseling before Perkins Loan funds can be disbursed.
Please allow two business days from the date that you accept your Perkins Loan award
for your loan to be activated at the ACS website before completing your promissory
note and entrance counseling.(more)
